Mirapex. I was given Mirapex for RLS (Restless Leg Syndrome). I don't have to take it on a regular basis just when I need it. I take half a tablet and within 30 minutes the RLS has eased. It's the only thing that worked for me except for Ultram. Even sometimes the Ultram isn't enough and that's when I reach for the Mirapex.

I don't know how it would affect or help the issue of the jerking waking you up. In that case I suspect you might have to take the Mirapex on a schedule as it's normally used.

Just a thought anyway.
